Hello =]

Hi all, I'm Emma, a 20 year old student at Bristol University.
I've had issues with depression, self harm and suicidal thoughts since I was 14 and up until now have told pretty much no-one. I guess as soon as you reveal something like that to an average person they immediately assume you're either attention seeking or just plain messed up - not a good way to make friends =] Therefore I'm very glad to have stumbled upon this place...It's nice to be honest about myself for once. So yeah - this is me ... Hi =]

Welcome to the forum, Emma! I hope you find the help you're looking for here.
Just a little side note: It's actually against the rules here to have a picture of yourself as your avatar, so it might be an idea to change that ASAP. ><
Cute dog (?) though!

Welcome to the forum. I'm, also, 20 and primarily deal with depression, self harm, and suicidal thoughts. So, we have something in common already. I hope you find whatever it is that you're looking for here and wish you all the best. :hug:
